What is/was coming to MD-dom.

4/2000:

Sony will
introduce a iLink (firewire) equipped CD/MD system in the UK for
£1000 in August (see "Wire Cutter" article) and Kenwood demonstrated an MD/CD/DVD firewire system at
the 1998 Fall Comdex. (The basic idea is for firewire to be used as a
single bus running between all HiFi components that carries control
and data signals.)

Caleb Chan
(and others) find an announcement of Sony's
impending MD marketing blitz, in which is mentioned the new
MDS-JE520 and MDS-JB920 MD decks along with several other units new to
the US market. A further
Sony press release gives the launch date and prices for this
year's MD gear.
